Designed as a serene retreat for a Washington, D.C. couple, this nearly 5,000-square-foot home embodies the quiet refinement and thoughtful simplicity of its East Coast seaside inspiration. Soft natural light, layered textures, and a muted palette shape interiors that feel airy, warm, and intimately lived-in.
Clean architectural lines and crisp white board-and-batten create a sense of ease, while quartzite countertops, hand-finished millwork, and flowing linen drapery bring depth and calm. Every space is composed with intention – welcoming, effortless, and far from expected.
“There’s a quiet elegance to this home, it’s light-filled, serene, and timeless. We focused on balance: crisp, coastal colors and classic forms that invite a sense of calm and openness. It’s a space that lives beautifully, inside and out.”
